Peppermint Bark

Hello, Folks! We will celebrate this holiday season with a “Twelve Days of Christmas” tribute to my favorite candy/treats that my family and I love to make each Christmas. Check back for the next 4 days or Days 1 through 7 to see a new recipe and find something that you like and will share with your family.

Quinton: Today, I am showcasing Peppermint Bark, but my wife is the one that makes this Christmas candy each year. So, she is presenting this treat.

Amy: Peppermint is my FAVORITE Christmas flavor! Over the years, I’ve added peppermint to so many different desserts because it just screams holidays to me. Several years ago, I tasted this candy at a party, and we realized just how incredibly simple this would be to make in our own kitchen.

Amy: Now, it’s a family tradition that any one of us can make, but it’s generally left to me. At first, I melted white chocolate and sprinkled crushed candy canes into it. A few years I decided to add a twist; make it double-layered with semi-sweet on the bottom and white chocolate on the top. Since my goal is to infuse peppermint into everything Christmas, now I add a few drops of peppermint extract to the top layer. However, it’s extremely powerful, so a little goes a long way. Enjoy!

Quinton: Well, folks, I was not a good husband. We had several more photos of the prep work we did, and I forgot to put the SD card back in the camera. So nothing was saved. Once we took all those pictures, I realized I had not put the memory card back in. For that I am very sorry. I was able to take some pictures of the final product before we broke it up. We will do this again and add more pictures next time we make this candy, and again I am sorry.
